▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Hou Zhi looked at Qin Ruan and Qin Mei not far away, her tone slightly solemn. "Nangong Young Master knows the identity of the Madam. This morning, he sent someone to intercept Tang Ya, who was supposed to fly overseas, claiming it was a gesture of apology to the Madam."
"What the hell?!" Qin Mei was shocked.
Early in the morning, he received a call from his eldest brother, who informed him of Tang Ya's death and advised him and his sister to be careful during these days.
As soon as he received the news, he hurriedly rushed over, never expecting to hear about the details of Tang Ya's death here.
The Third Young Master's face was filled with a gloomy and stern expression. He lightly pursed his displeased thin lips and tapped his slender fingertips on the edge of the tablet in his hand.
He looked up, his chilly gaze fixed on Hou Zhi. "How did he find out about the Madam's identity?"
"Haven't the Su family been monitoring the Madam for some time? Did they find out through Miss Ling?" Hou Zhi interjected.
Qin Ruan's expression turned unpleasant, and she asked, "Ling Xiaoxuan?"
Hou Zhi faced Qin Ruan and respectfully reported, "Yes, it was Miss Ling. The Su family's surveillance heard it when she was talking to her cousin."
After finishing her words, she knelt in front of the Third Young Master. "I've failed in my duties!"
Hou Yunjiao's slender peach blossom eyes raised slightly, and he casually glanced at Huo Zhi. "If they can monitor the friends around the Madam, it means they came prepared. Your responsibility is to ensure the Madam's safety, the Ling family's affairs have nothing to do with you."
Hou Zhi dared not speak. This time, the fault was not hers, but ultimately, it was her negligence.
After the morning news broadcast was over, the Third Young Master tapped the tablet screen in his hand, and the large projection screen disappeared.
He casually threw the tablet on the bed and stood up, putting on his shoes. He asked in a deep voice, "Where is Nangong Chang?"
"In the lobby downstairs," Hou Zhi replied.
"Does the Second Young Master know about the news?" he asked.
"He knows. The Second Young Master is welcoming him downstairs."
Upon hearing that the two were gathering, Hou Yunjiao raised his hand and pressed against his uncontrollably throbbing temple. "Keep an eye on them, make sure they don't start fighting."
Hou Zhi also knew that her Second Young Master and Nangong Chang didn't get along, and they would start fighting at the drop of a hat.
She whispered, "Uncle Qiang and Brother Chuan are guarding the Second Young Master downstairs."
Hou Yunjiao said in a deep voice, "You go too, don't let the Second Young Master disable someone."
"I'll go right away." Hou Zhi got up and left.
Hou Yunjiao unbuttoned his pajamas and looked up to see Qin Mei still lingering in the room. He said in a deep voice, "Ruan Ruan and I haven't freshened up yet. Go outside and wait."
Qin Mei stared at his porcelain-white skin and couldn't help but admire how a man could be whiter than a woman, and his enviable abdominal muscles made his eyes heat up.
As soon as he heard the Third Young Master's order to dismiss him and thought about the excitement downstairs, Qin Mei quickly understood the situation and said, "I'll go downstairs and take a look too!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already left the room.
Hou Yunjiaor walked up to Qin Ruan, whose eyebrows were furrowed, and extended his slender index finger to press it against her forehead. "Don't worry about it anymore. Since we can't hide it from them, let's not bother hiding."
Qin Ruan shook her head. "I'm not worried about that. Nangong Chang was able to kill Tang Ya this morning and appear in Qin City at this time, which means he had a detailed plan and was confident of its success. I'm afraid he poses a threat to the Qin family. The current Qin Group in the capital is not strong enough; I'm a bit concerned."
Hou Yunjiao hugged Qin Ruan and lowered his head to plant a kiss on her hair. "Don't worry, I'm here."
He sighed softly. "If Nangong Chang spreads the news, you might be busy in the days to come."
"Why?" Qin Ruan raised her head, showing her confusion.
After her identity was exposed, she only expected inconvenience at school and being observed by the scions of major families.
It was the holiday season now, so she didn't expect any trouble to come knocking on her door.
Hou Yunjiao rubbed her hair and smiled. "Being the daughter-in-law of the Hou family is not an easy role. You are the next mistress of the Hou family, and many people will come to visit you. The current leader of the Long family might even summon you."
"The President?" Qin Ruan widened her eyes.
She knew that the current president came from the Long family, a prominent figure she saw on TV every day.
It was the first time she felt that such a distant figure was actually within reach.
"Yes," Hou Yunjiao nodded, guiding her towards the bathroom. "Freshen up and come downstairs with me to meet people. If you don't feel like talking, you don't have to say a word. Just sit by my side."
"Understood."
Qin Ruan entered the bathroom and closed the door.
Despite Hou Yunjiao's reassurance, she didn't truly relax.
Nangong Chang gave her a very unfriendly feeling.
She had a constant feeling that this person would bring her troubles. In her past life, he remained hidden and didn't come to the surface, but in this life, many things were connected to him.
...
Downstairs.
Huo Yirong and Nangong Chang were engaged in a fierce fight.
The two of them never got along, and they would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.
This time was no exception, and many objects in the living room were destroyed in their brawl.
Hou Qiang, Hou Chuan, and Hou Zhi stood by, watching coldly.
If they weren't the secret guards of the Hou family, they would have wanted to applaud and cheer for the Second Young Master.
Nangong Chang had a hard time dealing with Hou Yirong's attacks and had been beaten more times.
Of course, both of them had status and position; it wasn't like an ordinary fight.
Their exchanges of blows were all hidden from plain sight.
"Hiss!" Nangong Chang was once again struck in the abdomen by Hou Yirong's attack. The pain caused him to bend over, and it took him a while before he straightened up.
Of course, Hou Yirong didn't always evade Nangong Chang's attacks either; he had some injuries on his body, but they were not visibly apparent.
Qiao Xi and Qin Mei stood at the farthest distance, observing and occasionally discussing their insights into the fight between Hou Yirong and Nangong Chang.
"This time, Nangong Chang lost. My second cousin's specialty is ambushes. Not many people can escape that move he just used."
Qiao Xi held Qin Mei's hand, his excitement evident.
Qin Mei was amazed. This was a true display of skilled combat, and it made him eager to try it himself.
He admired, "Second Young Master's skills are impressive."
"Of course! Back in the day, my second cousin was invincible in the family, except for our third cousin."
Qin Mei blinked at the comment. "Third Young Master is even more skilled?"
Josh pursed his lips, hesitating to speak further.
"Come on, how skilled is the Third Young Master?" Qin Mei was extremely curious.
The Third Young Master appeared physically weak and didn't seem like someone who could fight.
Based on Qiao Xi's implications that the Third Young Master's skills surpassed Hou Yirong's, Qin Mei started to form an idea in his mind.
He wondered if he could find an opportunity in the future to have a man-to-man duel with the Third Young Master.
Josh licked his lips and whispered in Qin Mei's ear, "It's not that my third cousin can fight, but whenever he makes a move, every strike is fatal, guaranteed bloodshed. It's not a simple competition but a fight to the death. That's why very few people have witnessed my third cousin in action."
"Damn!" Qin Mei couldn't even imagine the image of the modest and refined Third Young Master making such ruthless moves. Even in his imagination, it was hard to conceive.
He even began to doubt if the fierce man Josh described was really his younger sister's husband.
